Should online poker be illegal in the US?

Question

Is playing poker online worse than playing the lottery?

Why can I gamble in the form of lottery every one feet in NYC, but cant gamble in my home?

What are your feelings?

Answer 1

I think so,  because alot of the sites are rigged!

Answer 2

Only if you're a n**i/fundamentalist.

Answer 3

you can gamble at home not illegal they just made it difficult to fund a poker account

Answer 4

i think that if you want to you should be able to gamble online in your home.  and it isnt illegal.  its just that all banks have made a policy that they wont deposit to online gambling sites, so you can't use your bank card.  it has to be a independent credit card or a prepaid credit card.  there are also money transfer sites like epasseport that you can go to and use that to put money in your accounts.  pretty much all of the major sites that i know of allow it.  full tilt, ultimate bet, pokerstars, party poker.  all of those have allow real money gambling. you just have to know how to get around the stupid bank policy and it really isnt that hard.  a prepaid visa is what i use and they are available at just about every grocery store in america.

Answer 5

No, just better regulated.
